For anyone who's missed the Bread Bag speech:

Full Text: Joni Ernst's Republican Response to the State of the Union

January 20, 2015 Good evening.

I'm Joni Ernst. As a mother, a soldier, and a newly elected senator from the great State of Iowa, I am proud to speak with you tonight.

A few moments ago, we heard the President lay out his vision for the year to come. Even if we may not always agree, it's important to hear different points of view in this great country. We appreciate the President sharing his.

Another Republican Failure: Joni Ernst Crashes and Burns During Bread Bag Infused SOTU Rebuttal

Months after voters sent her to DC because she “grew up castrating hogs” and promised to make Washington’s big spenders “squeal”, freshman Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa delivered the official Republican rebuttal to President Obama’s State of the Union. (There are many splinter rebuttals.)

Unfortunately, Senator Ernst took a dangerous turn down GOP SOTU rebuttal alley with a bizarre reference to bread bags on her feet in an attempt to appeal to the Americans who are harmed by her party’s policies.
